Hazard
The short-circuit terminal for inadvertent deployment prevention during maintenance, provided within the contact reel connector for the driver-side airbag, has improper connector molding. This may cause the circuit to short not only during maintenance (when disconnecting the vehicle-side connector) but also during normal operation. When the circuit shorts, the warning light illuminates, a fault message displays, and the airbag will not deploy.

運転者席エアバッグ用のコンタクトリールコネクタ内に設けられた、整備時誤爆防止用短絡端子において、コネクタの成型が不適切なため、整備時（車両側コネクタ取外し時）以外においても回路が短絡するおそれがある。回路が短絡した場合は、警告灯の点灯及び故障メッセージが表示され、エアバッグが展開しなくなる。
Remedy
On all vehicles, attach a steel plate to the rear of the vehicle-side connector to increase the connector thickness.
